Group Neckarwiese Living Map
Living Maps
Adopting critical cartography approaches, our team assembled a variety of living maps.
Combining not only visualization and storytelling but also social science and human geography methods, these maps incorporate narratives and stories about encounter, dispersal and experience. The maps are created with and hosted by ArcGIS StoryMaps.

1. Group Neckarwiese
by Hikmatova Sevara and Rusanthi Raventhiran
As a periodically flooding area, Neckarwiese was chosen to conduct our research, focusing on assessing public awareness of the Asian tiger mosquito and identifying potential breeding conditions in the environment.
2. Group Pfaffengrund
by Alessandra Culasso, Bahadır Köksal and Ilgın Su Parr
This study aimed to explore the relationship between the presence of lavender and the perception of the tiger mosquito problem among residents of the Pfaffengrund neighbourhood. In particular, we focused on analysing the perceived effectiveness of lavender as a natural repellent and the practices adopted by residents to manage the tiger mosquito problem in their private and public spaces.
3. Group Bergfriedhof
by Maya Isabela Kielhorn, Ava Rahimi Vahedi, Tianyi Wang
In the first field trip to Weststadt-Heidelberg, the presence of the Tiger Mosquito (TM) in "Bergfriedhof" cemetery has become a point of our concern and interest. The cemetery's microclimate, characterized by humid and shaded conditions, presents an optimal habitat for mosquito breeding. This research, conducted over several field trips to the cemetery, investigates the socio-cultural and ecological implications of this species' establishment.
4. Group Rohrbach
by Chuting Ying and Yuexuan Niu
This mapping project intended exploring Rohrbach's coexistence and relationship with Asian tiger mosquitoes and consisted of several walks through the neighborhood by international students. Locals are interviewed about their encounters with the mosquitoes.
